Had my wheels refurbished today. Had the wheels dropped of at 8am his morning and ready for 2.30 when i went round.

The wheels beforehand were quite badly corroded as they came off a 97 calibra. Front one had a section of about 2" of corrosion.



Im really pleased with the outcome as they look brand new. Got 2 new tyres for the back but they were too wide and passenger scrubbed slightly so took them back. Then realised 2 were 205/50





What do you think? I think they certainly make the car look newer.

Thanks for looking

£200 by a local guy. But he changed 2 tyres and balanced them for free for me. It also included metal valves

I searched for ages and didnt find anything i liked. Rather have vauxhall alloys as im not overly struck on aftermarket and theres nothing wrong with they tyres on these. Obviously the profile is a little big but they have 6mm tread and 2 of the tyres are expensive.
